I know some people seem to think pyc/pyo fles are a good way to obfuscate code, but it honestly isn't, IMO. But these people stand the most to lose from us even considering changing default behavior.
People that think it is a good obfuscation trick often don't realise just how powerful Python's introspection features make the disassembly process. When decompiled software includes the original variable names it is a lot easier to follow than the cryptic mass of symbols that is decompiled machine code.
